More severe moderation in update threads?

Oh dear. It'll all end in tears.

I think that one problem is is that the new videos have taken a lot of the mystery out of SOW. We've been able to see what it's really going to look like so half way threw the week after updates things tend to get boring faster and everyone is pretty much all talked out so new topics pop up.

[heywooood]

here I see some run the risk of taking themselves too seriously...

Block Posts from users you dont care for...

Search replies by name (Oleg Luthier) for answers to specific queries

Stop using this kind of format as a police state / slagging wall
some comments here are more insulting than anything found in the update thread

More Vigorous Moderation indeed
Ban Violators...like its a felony to spout or difficult to 'ignore'

Where IS This Fridays' Update?????
Ilya - was the project canceled because of this thread? hahah

It would be nice if people were limited to 1 or 2 posts. It would make them think a bit harder before posting.

Thanks, it won't hurt people to think for a moment before they post.

Hopefully this means Oleg and others will find it easier to pick out the questions from the comments/bickering.
Maybe people could tag direct questions with an *asterisk to make it easier?

+1 on Yes! More moderation - less noise.

Maybe a period of zero tolerance to bring some of the worst people back onto a more civilised footing.

I just cant imagine having to go threw that horrible nightmare. Oh what a horrible life Oleg must have having to read threw 'that rubbish'.

I like this thread, it's funny. What you're really saying is "moderators, please moderate."

All you need is a little bit of organisation. Have an update thread. Any questions or modelling errors not relevant to that specific update get deleted and those that posted can put them elsewhere.

If you want, make sure that any questions posed have to be approved before they can viewed.

This subject is really a double edged sword. You are damned if you do and damned if you don't.

A forum is a place where people trade thoughts, ideas, concerns and opinions. As long as these posts are not vulgar or blatently break forum rules, they are fine.

It may be a tough pill for some to swallow, but the easiest way is to simply ignore "that guy" that gets under your skin with every post.

Asking a moderator to choose what is a valid concern in a post and what is not is just ridiculously impossible. Ten different moderators could have ten different opinions on what is valid and what is not. Especially when you consider the vast diversity of people on this forum from all over the world.

My 2 cents!
